00:00What will you do if you see a burning tree?

00:08Is this what you call a flame tree?

00:13Did you also hear the sound of a burning fruit?

00:17Cool, right? And very hot!

00:25What if you notice a burning tree?

00:31A fire broke out nearby!

00:40That's what the witnesses say.

00:43Is this the reason or the result of a fire?

00:47This is not the first time that a tree has been seen

00:50that ignited the hearts of its inhabitants.

00:55One of the possible reasons for this to happen is the fire.

01:00It is said that a flame tree has a temperature that is five times hotter than the surface of the sun.

01:08A tree usually has water in its body.

01:12And if it is hit by a flame tree, there is a possibility that it will explode.

01:17Or burn.

01:21Another possible reason is the natural process of tree rot.

01:25When a tree or any plant rots,

01:27it is known that this end product is heat.

01:31If it is exposed to heat, there can be spontaneous combustion

01:35or sudden burning if the condition is right.

01:38And sometimes, this can be the cause of wildfires.

01:44Let's go back to this video.

01:46Unfortunately, the tree in the video died.

01:51And according to the expert, there may be other reasons why it was burned.

01:56I can only hypothesize why the tree is burning.

02:00Because the inside of the tree is already hollow.

02:02Hollow means that the inside is already rotten.

02:05There are many reasons.

02:06It can be disease.

02:07It can be anise.

02:08It can be water.

02:10That penetrates the inside of the wood.

02:12If it is a highly urbanized area,

02:14and there is a hole in the tree that is in the middle of many people,

02:18there may be people who are the first to wear garbage

02:22inside the hollow.

02:23But here in Albay,

02:25there are natural fruits that bloom.

02:28This is not the only place where the rich and the poor live.

02:31From this volcano,

02:32there are also the rich and the poor.

02:35And even the beach.

02:38Do you also have something to do with the fruits that also bloom?

02:42This is the hanga or petroleum nut.

02:46In hanga,

02:48the reason for the bloom is that

02:50it contains heptanes and terpenes.

02:53These are volatile compounds that are flammable.

02:56The fruits, technically,

02:58have a high concentration of those.

03:00Do you also have something to do with this volcano

03:03when it blooms?

03:05It can be seen in the wild,

03:07especially in areas where the elevation is high.

03:11The question is interesting.

03:13Is it a natural phenomenon?

03:15It is a natural phenomenon.

03:16It is a natural phenomenon.

03:18The question is interesting.

03:20If the petroleum nut grows in areas that are involved in volcanoes

03:24or in hot spots because it glows.

03:28But that species can be found throughout the Philippines.

03:33So it was first collected and described in Benguet,

03:36in the Benguet area, Mountain Province.

03:38If you see these fruits,

03:40be warned,

03:42don't eat them!

03:43It's like eating a fruit that contains gasoline.

03:49Gasoline is not edible.

03:51And also, it contains cardiac glycosides.

03:54Cardiac glycosides are compounds that affect the rhythm of the heart.

04:00You can have heart problems and also lead to diarrhea.

04:04All in all, it's not advisable to eat the fruit of petroleum nut.

04:09But it can still be used.

04:12These are natural oils that can be used for massage.

04:16There are folkloric or traditional medicine studies

04:20where indigenous people use it for massage.

04:27We met Tatay Angelo.

04:29He said that this oil is really spicy.

04:34When I applied it to my body,

04:36I felt the heat, the cold, and the spiciness.

04:39And there's no pain when you apply it.

04:43Now, I'm wondering,

04:45if you don't want to be close to insects,

04:47you don't want to be close to flies,

04:49you don't want to be close to insects that can bite you,

04:52why is this so good?

04:54It doesn't have any bad effects on the skin.

04:58It doesn't itch or anything.

05:02Tatay Angelo's wife is an albino.

05:05That's why she decided to raise albinos

05:08and make a business of selling this oil.

05:13Albinos are herbal oils, my friends.

05:16When you apply it, even if it's black like this,

05:19it still contains albinos.

05:22To prove that it's albino,

05:24let's test it.

05:25There's no fee.

05:26For example, you just want to watch or see it.

05:31Does albinos have benefits?

05:33Remember, this is still not a solution to serious feelings.

05:38I only rely on herbal medicine if there's research done.

05:42If there's no research,

05:43how would you know that it is really effective

05:45and it is safe?

05:46Its effectiveness,

05:48its protective mechanism,

05:50its effects,

05:52and is it safe to use?

05:54From trees that suddenly catch fire

05:58to fruits that sprout,

06:01you just have to think about

06:03what other sources of life there are.

06:07Aha!
